As a condition of becoming a User, or using SocialChains’ services or platforms in any way, you consent to the handling practices described in this Policy and to this Policy. To a certain extent, the privacy of what you provide SOCIALCHAINS may be regulated by your adjusting your Profile.

When you use SOCIALCHAINS services or platforms cookies – small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters – will be transmitted to your computer, either session cookies, persistent cookies, or both. Flash and other browser plug-in applications may also be transmitted.

SOCIALCHAINS collects the first and last name, email, mobile phone number, and address for user verification to prevent fake accounts.

SOCIALCHAINS will use what you provide and what it collects, automatically or otherwise, to operate, maintain, enhance, and provide its features, services, and platforms. SOCIALCHAINS uses all of what you provide or that SOCIALCHAINS collects to understand and analyze the usage trends and preferences of our Users, to improve the way the Services work and look, and to create new features and functionality.

While SOCIALCHAINS is not in the business of selling what you provide, it will disclose your personally identifiable information in a variety of circumstances in connection with developing, maintaining, and operating its services and platforms. SOCIALCHAINS may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary or useful to comply with applicable laws, to respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena or warrant, or to otherwise assist or cooperate with law enforcement activity or other similar activities in connection with internal or coordinated fraud detection and prevention, and the protection or enforcement of third party rights. SOCIALCHAINS will also disclose what you provide it as it deems appropriate or necessary to avoid liability, to protect itself or others from fraudulent, abusive, predatory, or unlawful uses or activity, to investigate and defend itself against any claims or allegations; to protect the security or integrity of its services or platforms, or to protect or vindicate the rights, property, or personal safety of SOCIALCHAINS, its Users, or others.

SOCIALCHAINS may retain what you submit for a variety of purposes, including backups and archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, and analytics. SOCIALCHAINS shall not be responsible for the content, privacy, or security practices and policies of third party sites or services despite third party links being displayed in its services or platforms.

SOCIALCHAINS does not ensure or warrant the security of anything you transmit to SOCIALCHAINS, nor does SOCIALCHAINS guarantee that what you provide will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed as a result of any breach of any physical, technical, or managerial safeguards, or any absence or malfunction thereof. What you transfer to SOCIALCHAINS is at your own risk. However, should SOCIALCHAINS become aware of any such problem affecting or potentially affecting what you provide, SOCIALCHAINS will attempt to notify you electronically so that you may take appropriate protective steps.

The services and platforms are intended for Users located across the world. Your information may be stored and processed in any country in which SOCIALCHAINS or its Users maintain facilities. For purposes of sharing or disclosing data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, SOCIALCHAINS may transfer, store, and process your information outside of your country.

Changes to this Privacy Policy may be made by SOCIALCHAINS in its sole discretion. Each change will become effective on a going forward basis only and as noted as a part of the change itself. You will be bound by each change unless you terminate your Usership and cease use of all services and platforms before the change becomes effective. Your continued use after the change becomes effective constitutes your consent to it.
